Integrative Life Center

About

Integrative Life Center is a holistic residential treatment facility in Nashville, Tennessee, co-founded in 2010 by Lee McCormick and Holly Cook, specializing in the integrative treatment of addiction, mental health conditions, and eating disorders through somatic and experiential therapeutic modalities. The program's clinical architecture is organized around the conviction that lasting change emerges through direct embodied experience rather than exclusively verbal or cognitive intervention. Treatment programming encompasses thirty-five hours of weekly structured activities led by master's-level clinicians with specialty training, featuring modalities such as EMDR, brainspotting, psychodrama, breathwork, trauma-informed bodywork, acupuncture, sweat lodge ceremony, and equine-assisted therapy alongside more conventional individual and group psychotherapy. Gender-specific residential campuses are situated in the rolling hills outside Nashville, approximately twenty-five minutes from the city center, providing a therapeutic environment that leverages natural surroundings as an element of treatment. The facility's inclusion of ceremonial and indigenous-influenced practices — sweat lodge and spirituality groups — alongside clinical psychotherapy reflects an integrative vision that honors diverse healing traditions. Integrative Life Center accepts insurance from several major carriers and operates across residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care.

Depth Orientation

Integrative Life Center's clinical identity is built around somatic and experiential modalities — psychodrama, brainspotting, breathwork, trauma-informed bodywork, and sweat lodge ceremony — that engage the body and the unconscious as primary therapeutic registers. Co-founded by Lee McCormick, a figure associated with experiential recovery work, the program reflects a philosophical commitment to healing through embodied experience rather than purely cognitive intervention, positioning it within a tradition that recognizes the body as a repository of unprocessed trauma and meaning.
